I had a job washing dishes at an old bar and grill G D Dsus2 D After hours I drink like a fool G C With a mighty good friend who happened to bartend G D G His way through medical school G C He was a young star fleet doctor; about fell off his rocker G D Dsus2 D when his assignment came in G C Country boys born and raised at the stars we did gaze G D G The next morning he left stinking of gin Chorus: C G Well, McCoy, my boy, come mix me a drink C D Before the night’s over I’ll puke in the sink G C And we’ll cry till we laugh and we’ll both shit our pants G D G You’re the best drinking friend I’ve ever had G-D-G
Verse 2: (same as v1) He spent many a year in danger and fear On sailing a ship beyond the stars So imagine my surprise when I heard he had died In his bed 50 million miles this side of Mars
::Repeat Chorus::
